[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 192785, member: 6705"] All the Savage long action are the same length. It is just the size of the opening on the bottom of the action that limits the length of loaded rounds. If you don't mind single shot leave it as is. Maybe put in a single shot follower to help loading. If you require a repeater you will have to get the opening machined to accept a rum mag box and follower. The length of the mag box will most certainly limit your ability to load to the lands with high BC bullets. Not a problem with single shot. Also, if you change to a rum mag box it may affect repeater feeding if you want to go back to 7mm. I'd run the Edge as a single shot myself. Yep, the Edge is simply a 300 necked up to 338. Redding makes dies for the Edge- it is also called 338/300 RUM. Others use 338 RUM dies and simple neck size and bump the shoulder as needed. Pretty simple. Now all you need is a barrel, action wrench, nut wrench, and headspace gauges.:) [/QUOTE]
